So my wife and I like to play the movie game at dinner; you get to ask a question and the other person answers it, then asks a question of their own. Questions range from titles to genres to actors to directors etc. And yes, 5 Degrees of Kevin Bacon even makes it in occasionally.

Probably Dead Man. My question is actually related. Dead Man is a 'Swan Song', one of the archetypical stories (along with the heroes journey), but one not often told in a movie. What is your favorite Swan Song movie

Neither - and both. Actually a Swan Song is a story that is dedicated to a journey to death, it is hard to describe (at least for me - as I would have to translate literary terms and explanations I do not use very often from german - my native tongue - to english) with all (or at least most) steps during the journey leading to it. Dead Man is 'borderline' swan song, as most of these Tales start with a character that already has his place in life (as opposed to the heroes journey), but I still think it is one.

Alright, then. Going by what I'm picking up, my favorite Swan Song movie (or at least, the first one that popped into my head) is Aguirre, the Wrath of God. Herein can be seen the scene wherein Klaus Kinski mistreats a monkey!

My best remake is the 1976 version of King Kong starring Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. It was awesome watching it in the theaters.
I wish my town had a movie theater that showed old movies again. That is one I would like to see.

Nitpicking, but, as great as 'M' is, it isn't a silent movie but one of the first german 'talking films'...

And because I therefor want to re-ask the question about silent movies:
Barbara Bach (Anya Amasova)

Will I get slammed for even mentioning Birth of A Nation? It's not even my favorite silent film, but I do feel like it has historical significance. Sadly, my knowledge of film is woeful in terms of pre-sound titles.

As a gamer what I am about to say is probably gonna get me in trouble, but, y'know, Sam Raimi is just kinda overrated. I'm not gonna invoke the dead, so I'll instead go with Xena: Warrior Hussy

What's your favorite foreign film?

** spoiler omitted **

Never said you had to think Raimi was great just asked what your favorite movies of his was.

For foreign film Fallen Angels (Hong Kong) The action scenes were really unique. Its like watching everything unfold from a convenience store camera. It also has a dark story line. I really enjoyed this film.

So how does this game work? You name two movies and you connect them in 5 movies or less? It needs to include Kevin Bacon? Show me use Hunt for Red October and Count of Monte Cristo the 2002 Jim Cavieziel one.

You answer the previous poster's question and then come up with a question of your own. Anything goes, pretty much. I expect we'll take less flack if we stay away from films featuring Ron Jeremy.
